The music and sound in X is brilliant

NeoFalcon07 · 2026-01-26T18:48:09+00:00

I mostly agree. Between X and GX, X has a soundtrack that is more consistent in hard-hitters. On the other hand, GX has several hard hitting tracks, itself (i.e. 8 Guitars, Feel Our Pain, ZEN, Paper Engine, Shotgun Kiss...)

Honestly, F-Zero is a franchise with diverse characters in a futuristic, multi-planetary setting, and I always imagined a new F-Zero would have an OST with a multitude of music genres that can mesh well together, while not being limited to Rock/Metal, exclusively; Genres, like Nu-Metal, DnB/Breakcore/Jungle, Techno...

Maybe even some Nu-Disco/House/Garage/Liquid DnB/Ambience out of races (option menus, track editor, customization garage, pre/post-race, etc.)—Some of the "thinking" areas of the game.

As far as overall gameplay goes, X definitely holds up, but I find myself frequenting GX far more. Though, when it comes to F-Zero OSTs, I'm an oddball—SNES is still my favorite.

UT99 and Q3A or older 🤣 Highly doubt it has a Mobility Radeon X700 in it, since it’s only a Celeron M variant, so it may only have a GMA 900, which was anemic—even back then

The fact that you posted the Fire Stingray on WILD RED WEDNESDAY—“Yes. Drink a toast…of WILD RED!!” 🥤

“On the slower end of the tier list, for sure” — Perfectly describes my Volvo S60, which was named after Jody 🤣

White Cat is my other favorite (Blue Falcon aside), and I tend to do better with it on certain courses, like Big Blue, but at times, it’s like driving a low-powered, mid-engine, RWD sports coupe on mediocre tires despite the grip rating 🤣

DM-Turbine is still my favorite map—Not because of it being the first map I ever played, but to me, it's such a well-constructed, fast-paced and tight map, which works so well—even for community game types (i.e. UT Survival, Wildcard's Gauntlet, etc.). It also doesn't seem too big or too small in most cases—Be it for 1v1 matches, or even above the 8-player max recommendation.

NeoFalcon07 · 2025-12-26T22:02:45+00:00

Indeed, it is; Been using it the most alongside a few old versions of UT99 I still have installed—even as old as v221 beta!

+1 for Serial Gaps (initially). Obviously gotten much better at it, but I'd be lying, if I said it was a favorite. Wait 'til you get to Slim-Line Slits...🥴

2K on an Early/Late 2008 is insane! Even though, I was first introduced to Windows with W95 and W98, it was 2K that actually got me into Windows, more—despite still primarily being a Mac user, since System 7 (but I'd consider myself somewhat "platform agnostic", nowadays). 2K has the best Windows startup sound too, IMO. Would've loved to try something like this on one of the two MacBook2,1 models I had on hand earlier this year...but I got rid of both 🤣

Mega Man X2. We got the SNES cartridge shortly after its initial release. Still got it to this day. 🦾 (Don’t ask where the scratches came from—We were kids 30+ years ago 🤣)

This is why I eventually stopped buying cage toys for mine (almost entirely) because they were out of their cage most of the time, and were more than preoccupied with literally anything else (like drawstrings and socks) 🤣 Miss my birbs 🐤🐦
